Organizations will continue the architecture-centric education throughdomain specific training, and the introduction of architecture development processes and tools.With these measures in place, organizations will be much better suited for the development of adiverse set of complex systems well into the future. Examples of the proposed approach asapplied to a defense system, and a humanitarian aid system will be used throughout this paper toemphasize the broad applicability.Complex Systems Drive a Need for Robust

The students are confronted with tasks to complete, a time deadline,teammates, and instructor who wander around asking questions.Most of the construction students are traditionally tactile learners. The hands-on approach in learningusually is the method of choice for the construction students. Engineering and technology courses alwayscontained learning-by-doing components. However, to maximize the student’s natural talents manyconstruction courses are taught as “active learning in a group environment.” The classes are typicallydivided into teams of three students.

Most of the middle school students had little prior experience in bothprogramming and electronic components. The use of the Tinkercad Circuits simulator enabledthe instructors to introduce both aspects online to ease the transition to real hardware. TheTinkercad software includes a graphical programming interface to make developing anddebugging Arduino codes more accessible to students. However, the simulator is powerfulenough to allow participants to experiment with, create and debug worthwhile and innovativeprojects virtually.2.

With two of the biggest obstacles tackled, approval and budget, this plan becomes prettysimple.
